In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: fix potential buffer overflow in do_register_framebuffer()
The current implementation may lead to buffer overflow when:
1. Unregistration creates NULL gaps in registered_fb[]
2. All array slots become occupied despite num_registered_fb < FB_MAX
3. The registration loop exceeds array bounds
Add boundary check to prevent registered_fb[FB_MAX] access.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pNFS: Fix uninited ptr deref in block/scsi layout
The error occurs on the third attempt to encode extents. When function
ext_tree_prepare_commit() reallocates a larger buffer to retry encoding
extents, the "layoutupdate_pages" page array is initialized only after the
retry loop. But ext_tree_free_commitdata() is called on every iteration
and tries to put pages in the array, thus dereferencing uninitialized
pointers.
An additional problem is that there is no limit on the maximum possible
buffer_size. When there are too many extents, the client may create a
layoutcommit that is larger than the maximum possible RPC size accepted
by the server.
During testing, we observed two typical scenarios. First, one memory page
for extents is enough when we work with small files, append data to the
end of the file, or preallocate extents before writing. But when we fill
a new large file without preallocating, the number of extents can be huge,
and counting the number of written extents in ext_tree_encode_commit()
does not help much. Since this number increases even more between
unlocking and locking of ext_tree, the reallocated buffer may not be
large enough again and again.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: dvb-frontends: w7090p: fix null-ptr-deref in w7090p_tuner_write_serpar and w7090p_tuner_read_serpar
In w7090p_tuner_write_serpar, msg is controlled by user. When msg[0].buf is null and msg[0].len is zero, former checks on msg[0].buf would be passed. If accessing msg[0].buf[2] without sanity check, null pointer deref would happen. We add
check on msg[0].len to prevent crash.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: Fix vmalloc out-of-bounds write in fast_imageblit
This issue triggers when a userspace program does an ioctl
FBIOPUT_CON2FBMAP by passing console number and frame buffer number.
Ideally this maps console to frame buffer and updates the screen if
console is visible.
As part of mapping it has to do resize of console according to frame
buffer info. if this resize fails and returns from vc_do_resize() and
continues further. At this point console and new frame buffer are mapped
and sets display vars. Despite failure still it continue to proceed
updating the screen at later stages where vc_data is related to previous
frame buffer and frame buffer info and display vars are mapped to new
frame buffer and eventully leading to out-of-bounds write in
fast_imageblit(). This bheviour is excepted only when fg_console is
equal to requested console which is a visible console and updates screen
with invalid struct references in fbcon_putcs().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
comedi: fix race between polling and detaching
syzbot reports a use-after-free in comedi in the below link, which is
due to comedi gladly removing the allocated async area even though poll
requests are still active on the wait_queue_head inside of it. This can
cause a use-after-free when the poll entries are later triggered or
removed, as the memory for the wait_queue_head has been freed. We need
to check there are no tasks queued on any of the subdevices' wait queues
before allowing the device to be detached by the `COMEDI_DEVCONFIG`
ioctl.
Tasks will read-lock `dev->attach_lock` before adding themselves to the
subdevice wait queue, so fix the problem in the `COMEDI_DEVCONFIG` ioctl
handler by write-locking `dev->attach_lock` before checking that all of
the subdevices are safe to be deleted. This includes testing for any
sleepers on the subdevices' wait queues. It remains locked until the
device has been detached. This requires the `comedi_device_detach()`
function to be refactored slightly, moving the bulk of it into new
function `comedi_device_detach_locked()`.
Note that the refactor of `comedi_device_detach()` results in
`comedi_device_cancel_all()` now being called while `dev->attach_lock`
is write-locked, which wasn't the case previously, but that does not
matter.
Thanks to Jens Axboe for diagnosing the problem and co-developing this
patch.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: venus: Fix OOB read due to missing payload bound check
Currently, The event_seq_changed() handler processes a variable number
of properties sent by the firmware. The number of properties is indicated
by the firmware and used to iterate over the payload. However, the
payload size is not being validated against the actual message length.
This can lead to out-of-bounds memory access if the firmware provides a
property count that exceeds the data available in the payload. Such a
condition can result in kernel crashes or potential information leaks if
memory beyond the buffer is accessed.
Fix this by properly validating the remaining size of the payload before
each property access and updating bounds accordingly as properties are
parsed.
This ensures that property parsing is safely bounded within the received
message buffer and protects against malformed or malicious firmware
behavior.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: uvcvideo: Fix 1-byte out-of-bounds read in uvc_parse_format()
The buffer length check before calling uvc_parse_format() only ensured
that the buffer has at least 3 bytes (buflen > 2), buf the function
accesses buffer[3], requiring at least 4 bytes.
This can lead to an out-of-bounds read if the buffer has exactly 3 bytes.
Fix it by checking that the buffer has at least 4 bytes in
uvc_parse_format().

The root cause is in the corrupted image, there is a dnode has the same
node id w/ its inode, so during f2fs_get_dnode_of_data(), it tries to
access block address in dnode at offset 934, however it parses the dnode
as inode node, so that get_dnode_addr() returns 360, then it tries to
access page address from 360 + 934 * 4 = 4096 w/ 4 bytes.
To fix this issue, let's add sanity check for node id of all direct nodes
during f2fs_get_dnode_of_data().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tls: separate no-async decryption request handling from async
If we're not doing async, the handling is much simpler. There's no
reference counting, we just need to wait for the completion to wake us
up and return its result.
We should preferably also use a separate crypto_wait. I'm not seeing a
UAF as I did in the past, I think aec7961916f3 ("tls: fix race between
async notify and socket close") took care of it.
This will make the next fix easier.
